Guilin - Lava-shaped Mountains

Guilin, China: elders, farmers
.
Peaked lava mountains. There are other parts of the world with formations similar, such as Meteora, in Greece, with the monasteries on top.
.
But these at Guilin are a larger area, and combined with waterways and am an ongoing traditional agricultural lifestyle. See www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/guilin, and www.chinatour.com/attraction/guilin.
Guilin and Li River area.

This would be an excellent geo-tourism site because of the geological sites and attractions. See book "Geotourism" by Ross Dowling at this site: elsevier.com/wps/find/bookdescription.cws_home/706060/description#description.
